02/27/2004 Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld's trip through Central Asia, including stops in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, brought nothing in the way of support for such ideals as democracy and human rights in Uzbekistan, writes Esmer Islamov. Nor did Rumsfeld have anything to offer beleagured Afghan President Hamid Karzai--not even a pledge to find Osama bin Laden.

Protestat qytetare tė kohėve tė fundit, lėvizja "MJAFT", Zyra e Mbrojtjes Qytetare si dhe Koalicioni Shqiptar kundėr Korrupsionit, mendoj se janė tregues shumė pozitivė nė jetėn e sotme shqiptare, ku siē e dini treguesit pozitivė janė disi tė rrallė. Janė pritur prej kohėsh kėto lloj protestash dhe tregojnė njė ndryshim nė mendėsinė e shoqėrisė shqiptare sot. Dėshmojnė pėr njė vizion tė ri tė gjėrave, pėr njė shkėputje nga politikanizmi shterp, pėr njė qasje konkrete tė problemeve reale tė vendit.

02/27/2004 Con motivo del inicio de la campańa electoral y tras estudiar la mayorķa de los programas de los partidos que se presentan a las elecciones, Amnistķa Internacional se ha mostrado decepcionada por la falta de compromisos con la defensa de los derechos humanos reflejada en los documentos y las propuestas "vagas y vacķas de contenido" en este įmbito. En un informe, AI afirma que cuestiones como el control del comercio de armas, el reconocimiento de los derechos de los inmigrantes, la lucha contra el racismo o la necesidad de responder a las recomendaciones internacionales hechas a Espańa sobre las torturas y maltratos por parte de las fuerzas de seguridad estįn ausentes o no se reflejan en medidas concretas.

Nė raportin e zyres se OSBE-se per vendin tone te bėrė publik para Kėshillit tė Pėrhershėm tė kėsaj organizate, theksohet se situata politike nė vendin tonė ėshtė mė e brishtė se njė vit mė parė. Sipas OSBE nė vend nuk ekziston mė vullneti politik, i cili u prish pas zgjedhjeve tė tetorit. OSBE thekson se Nano arriti qė tė vendosė kontroll tė hekurt mbi qeverinė, pasi arriti qė tė mposhte Ilir Metėn nė kongresin e PS, i cili u pa se si do tė shkonte qė nga mėnyra se si u zgjodhėn delegatėt pėr nė kongres.

02/26/2004 Le Congo – l'autre Congo – est séparé de la République démocratique du Congo, pays beaucoup plus vaste et connu, par le fleuve Congo. Comme son voisin du sud, le Congo est déchiré par les guerres civiles et l'instabilité depuis une dizaine d'années mais, contrairement ą lui, il ne fait les manchettes que rarement en Occident. Au printemps dernier, une équipe médicale de Médecins Sans Frontičres réussissait enfin ą pénétrer dans la province du Pool. L'état de santé des habitants était déplorable et le taux de malnutrition élevé chez les survivants.

02/26/2004 Eteläisessä Afrikassa ei ole pulaa lehdistönvapautta rajoittavista tekijöistä: toimittajia vainoavat niin hallitukset, oikeusistuimet kuin rikollisjärjestötkin. Vakaimmissakin maissa sanan-ja lehdistönvapaus loppuu usein viimeistään vaalien lähestyessä. Tuore Kumppani-lehden mediateemanumero kertoo kehitysmaiden toimittajien taistelusta sananvapauden puolesta.
